Susan and I semi-co-led SFO groups this morning to Dryden Lake, where we were surprised to see an American PIpit along the Jim Schaug trail south of the park, in the little pond on the south side of the trail. I could not figure out its ID initially until Susan suggested pipit. Photo here:

At Genung Preserve was a singing brown creeper, and a brief look at what I think was a fox sparrow -- big and reddish, perched close but too brief to get my bins on the bird.
